Spinners at the lesson.

A fidget  spinner is a fidget toy or a gadget that is noisy and disruptive at the lesson but it can be really useful for the English class.

This is how an English teacher can use it:

1. As a timer of the task a pupil has to fulfill
*How much of the (long) poem can you recite while the fidget spinner is rotating or how many times a pupil can recite a short poem.
*How much of a story can you retell while the fidget spinner is rotating.
*How many tongue twisters can you read correctly during this time.
*How many words can you read from a long list while the spinner is rotating.

*How many words can you name from the topic eg. Food or any other.
Find the winner! Who does best in the class today.
Your students will surely have one spinner with them, so you don't even have to bother yourself and buy it.:-)

2. As a pointer.
*The fidget spinner can also point to the flashcard/object/pupil. You only have to mark one of the sides of it.
At my yesterday's lesson it was pointing to different objects (a stick, a block, a watch ...), the task of my younger pupils was to say what it is made of (It's made of plastic/wood/paper/metal).

Or it can point to parts of the face (blue eyes, brown eyes, 3 eyes, 2 noses, 6 ears...) spin 6 times or as many as you like, draw your monster and DESCRIBE it:-)

3.As a dice where each colour can stand for something (action, movement, task, words for the story)
